Plastic strapping materials market has witnessed continuous growth from past three years owing to an economical and secure unitizing solution for strapping as compared to steel strapping. Due to sharp edges of steel strapping, it is difficult to handle manually and can be hazardous to an individual who is engaged in strapping operation. Plastic strapping materials are easy to handle and can be removed or attached manually. The plastic strapping materials are highly preferred in the food and beverage industry over steel strapping due to the non-corrosive property of plastic strapping materials. Steel strapping can damage the food products due to its corrosive properties. Plastic wrapping films are holding the growth of plastic strapping materials market. Plastic wrapping films secure and unitize the items from dust, moisture and water which is not possible with the use of plastic strapping materials. Production of recycled plastic strapping materials helps to decrease the cost of manufacturing which can provide a competitive edge in the plastic strapping materials market. Most of the industries still use steel strapping as a unitizing application instead of plastic strapping materials due to incapability of withstanding high temperature.

Plastic strapping are available in different types of materials such as polypropylene, polyester and composite. Plastic strapping materials find application in various industries such as food & beverages, automotive, transportation & logistics, building & construction, textile and others. The consumer products industries such as food, beverages and electronics are expected to witness inclination in terms of CAGR during the forecast period. In plastic strapping materials, polypropylene is most widely preferred strapping material by end-user industries due to easy availability and compatibility for most of the applications. Polyester strapping is used in heavy load applications due to its high breaking strength. Composite strapping is made up of polyester and polypropylene which provides more tenacity and breaking strength to the plastic strapping material. The composite plastic strapping materials market is projected to grow with higher CAGR as compared to other strapping materials during the forecast period. Plastic strapping materials are expected to witness rise in demand owing to its economical availability, easy handling and several other properties, coupled with the increasing demand of unitizing solutions for globally rising manufacturing output.
